In order to determine this point, a number of the various makes of bricl will be placed in alarze revolving cylinder and tumbled about promiscuously. e brick which comes out of this test with the minimum amount of ‘chipping’ will be decided on, other qualitics being equal. My.

He would be glad to bring here people from the cast who had nover scen the west and who would be glad to sec it, and then, h smd, the Methodist church wis a church of temperance and might do something towards doing away with those vipers he had seen in too many of Omaha’s handsome blocks—the saloon. M. Shinkler of Covington, Ky., spoke of the practical necessities of a conference and questioned whether Omaha had a suitable building for its uccommodation. he had heard, he didn't know how exactly, that Omahd was not possessed of suflicient accommoda- tions for the conference, that was why the commission had been appointed. It was to investigate soon into Omaha's s in ovder that if it should bo found that she was unublo to take care of the delegates another place might be selected. He was sure that the people of Omaha were a liberal people and he didw't know why the action of the geucral conference in nominating Omaha for the place for holding the next con ference should mot be carried out, but for one thing. Where could its meetings be held! The Coliseum wouldn’t do, it was too far out, and, speaking entirely for himself, ho considcred it in no wiso suitable.

The hardest und bloodiest prize fight that has taken place in the vicinity of Omaha for a number of years took place at Germania hall, South Omaha, last night between Tim O'Hern of Chicago and Barney Taylor of South Omaha, ‘The men entered the ring 10:30 sharp, O'Hern stripping at 130 pounds and Taylor at 166, The fight was with four ounce gloves to a finish for purse of $100 and the gate, Rothery and Paddy Murphy were behind O'Hern, while Taylor was esquired by Pete Boyle and Tim Flynn.

Taylor emerged from this round a hideous spectacle, indeed. His nose was swollen to twice its normal size, his cheek spht open and his vight_eye closed, while his body was one smear of blood Bith wen camefup smiling like a June oraing for the fifth.

But as strango as it may appear Omaha man was not in the next, O'Hern hit him hard and often, one blow laying gashied cheek open afresh, unother almost scalng his only muining optic. A hurd knock-down O'Hern's right ended the round, Again in the ninth O'Hern forced the fight- injz, jubbing Taylor repeatedly with his 1aft, and smashing him in the vibs” with his right until it looked like a knock-out.
